Hosted by David Stepania with tech veterans Ben Smokovic & Derek Skinnell, these conversations cut through the hype to show how real businesses are leveraging AI’s untapped potential.
In this episode, David Stepania talks with Haokun and Rishabh, founders of Gale, an immigration service provider bringing more tech into the U.S. visa process so employers, beneficiaries, and vetted lawyers can collaborate with shared context without endless email threads.
They share how Gale supports startup-friendly pathways like O-1, EB-1, NIW, and H-1B, and where “AI” fits today: mostly on the backend to help lawyers draft parts of petitions and support letters faster, with everything scrutinized through lawyer review.
The founders also break down H-1B compliance workflows (like LCA posting and maintaining a public access file) and how Gale helps teams stay on top of the details.
